2016 Audi TT 1.8L Petrol · RV66 BYW

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward developing mechanical concerns. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 75,471 miles passed, it identified a minor front oil leak. This issue mirrors an identical defect recorded during the April 2025 test at 67,092 miles. The persistence of this leak over two consecutive years suggests a slow drip that has not yet been addressed by the previous owner. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per annum. There is a notable gap between the September 2023 and April 2024 tests where the car covered roughly 2,800 miles in seven months, followed by a more consistent increase of about 8,000 miles in the year leading up to 2026. This steady accumulation suggests regular road use, which is generally beneficial for seals and components compared to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the engine bay to identify the source of the recurring front oil leak, checking the camshaft cover seals, oil filter housing, or sump. The 2025 record also flagged both front inner tyres as worn on the edge and near the legal limit, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Although these were not mentioned in the 2026 test, a check of the front suspension geometry is necessary to ensure uneven tyre wear does not return.
